Thats impressive, but i always heard that you shouldnt start lifting untill your long bone growth is complete ( around 13-15).

Olympic lifts are sometimes called 'technique' lifts because in large part you use technique to create the dymanic power that gets the weight up. This is in contrast to lifts like bench or strict overhead presses that mainly rely on brute strength to get the job done.
Kids often have great technique because they don't have to unlearn a lot of behavior.
